“As for politics, I’m an Anarchist. I hate goverments and rules and fetters. Can’t stand caged animals. People must be free.” – Charlie Chaplin(Artwork originally locatedhere, upon the Facebook page, “Speak for Yourself“)

Katherine C.: We take for granted the comforts we have with government. Safety being one of them. I know there are exceptions, but we’ve talked about this before. You never gave me a good solution as to stopping serial killers and the like from attacking people that can’t fight back. Your only solution is private security and god knows how they’d get paid because there’d be no money, so I’m assuming we’d revert back to a barter economy.

Rayn:

Cowardice asks the question, is it safe?Expediency ask the question, is it politic?Vanity asks the question, is it popular?But, conscience ask the question, is it right? And there comes a time when we must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Rayn:

“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Govenment cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place.” – Dr. Ron Paul

Rayn:

“This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears, he is a protector.” – Plato

Rayn:

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” – H.L. Mencken(Artwork originally locatedhere, upon the Facebook page, “Zero Aggression“)

Rayn: Great idea! Let us subjugate and rob entire populations of *hundreds of millions* because an ultra-minority among us engage in violence against others!

“Government: the brilliant idea that we should stop lunatics from lying, murdering, and stealing from us by hiring lunatics to lie, murder and steal from us.”(Artwork originally locatedhere, upon the Facebook page, “LibertyManiacs.com“)

“If statists say we need government to control bad people… what about the bad people who join government to control others?”(Artwork originally locatedhere, upon the Facebook page, “Voluntaryism“)

(Matt Agorist) A Washington man was just granted $100,000 to settle a civil rights lawsuit after police were seen on dashcam, repeatedly punching him, repeatedly tasering him, and allowing their K9 to maul him continuously in spite of appearing unconscious.

On Aug. 22, 2014, the victim, Linson Tara was found dancing in a freight yard. Tara was not violent, and when police arrived, the dashcam shows him standing there with one hand on his hip and another in the air.

As police attempt to walk Tara over to the vehicle, they quickly become violent. At most, Tara had merely pulled his arm away from the officer before he was placed in a headlock, slammed to the hood of the patrol car and beaten.

(Shaun King) In two years time, I’ve now written nearly 1,000 articles about injustice in America. Injustice is so heavy here in the United States that if I had written 10,000 articles I still would only be scratching the surface. On the average day, I get hundreds of original emails from people who’ve been wronged in some way or another and hope they can have their story told.

When I first started telling these stories, I must admit that I was terribly naive. I had no idea how complex the justice system is. While I knew it was difficult to hold a corrupt or violent cop accountable for their actions, I simply didn’t know the lengths police, prosecutors, politicians and even local media outlets will go to protect a violent officer from paying the price for their brutality. I’ve learned the hard way over these past two years that what should make sense rarely does when it comes to holding police accountable for their violent actions. Now I know.

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artworkhere, being shared by the page, “We Copwatch,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Exerpts from Eric Garner Report: …Mr. Garner resisted arrest, refusing to obey directions and strugging with P.O. Justin Damico and P.O.
